Interesting...I never knew we locked ourselves down in this way. Silly,
IMO, but too late to bitch now. Funny how we mandate "Linux File System
Hierarchy" for all Debian ports, Linux or not.
Still, nothing says the FHS will never change, and change is very
difficult with everything doing their own thing. So my argument is still
that a central place describing these locations that the packages query,
is a better thing. This, in addition to my other reasons for this
proposal.
